LITTLE TONY IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE BRUCE... UNTIL MEG FINDS THE SPELL

IMAGINATION BEGETS CREATION

Foster parent Meg Suther’s new foster child Tony has an odd quirk. He talks to an imaginary friend. However it turns out the friend is not anything close to pretend.

Bruce exists. Bruce is a friend to Tony and is the father figure Tony wishes he had.

Meg finds this out very soon when she reads from a book she finds in the bottom of Tony's bags. The book contains a rhyme that strangely reads like a spell. When she read it out loud—poof!—comes out Bruce, all physical. All real.

Like a rocket, the lamp flies. But Meg realizes how important Bruce is to her foster child, so she allows him to stay, though a bit bruised. In the end, trusts are built as they learn that they both love Tony with all their hearts, and a friendship starts to form.

Tony created Bruce when he had found the book in a library and the spell caught his own attention. Now, he shares his imaginary friend with Meg, and as he watches them begin to like each other, the possibilities are forming in his hungry, hopeful heart.

If Bruce knew what wish the child was really asking when he spoke that spell aloud, he will be running.

Or maybe not.
